Updates Feb - March

To give ourselves a head start to the renovation ideas, we have started compiling our 2 years effort of loyal "Home & Decor" magazine and into our bible. Hubby was alittle reluctant to start as he reckons it will be tedious and tremendous work! We went on ahead anyway :p

As we are pretty sure of what we want in our designs, it wasn't really until lately that we manage to firm up on the actual theme and directions. Not easy at all. Being the fickle minded one, I sway from one theme to another until a point, vintage contemporary was what we have in mind. It doesn't really sounds right but in my head it's damn alright! You will just have to lived with it. As a matter of fact, design and taste are really.. really very subjective and lies on the eyes of the beholder. Some say nice while some shy away to even comment.

As both me and hubby anxiously waited for the day to claim the house our own, I was over joyed. So much so, I kept having sleepless nights thinking of what I can do with it. It's just too important to "sleep" it away. Needless for me to say the process of building the dream home didn't come easy with me being all "edgy". Anyway, we (or perhaps I should "I") survived the ordeal and successfully claimed our possession. Funny but the actual reality of "owning" it doesn't seem as exciting as "dreaming" about it.. or was it just me?

If you need to know, we have YET to confirmed on our contractor and sign on the dotted line. Revision after revision, disappointment after another, we did manage to narrow down to one. Only to know that another contractor which sort of gone MIA for a while came back with full force to "match" our pricing! How amazing is that? Now the competition starts.... will the last one standing please step forward. TQ

No doubt, time is on our side, just that the advantage is not ours to take. As soon as we have sorted out the necessary, it would be time to get it over and done with.
